Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Today we are switching to Max Millennium Observing Plan #017 in
support of coordinated flare observations between ROSA (Rapid
Oscillations in the Solar Atmosphere), and other space- and
ground-based instruments.
Solar activity continues at very low levels. NOAA 11244 has been the
source of a few low B-class events since the last message and shall
continue to be the target region. The region appears to be decaying as
it approaches the western limb but may produce further low-level
events before west limb passage. Please include the filament to the
north of the region in your field of view as well if possible.
The position of NOAA 11244 on 6-Jul-2011 at 09:30 UT is:
N15W73, ( 871", 228" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at very low levels. The target region NOAA
11244 retains its beta-gamma configuration and has shown some signs of
growth, although it has only managed to produce a few low B-class
events. Chance of some increased activity before the region reaches
the western limb. If possible, please include the large filament to
the north in your field of view.
The position of NOAA 11244 on 5-Jul-2011 at 09:30 UT is:
N16W59, ( 777", 233" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
The new target region NOAA 11244 was the source of several B-class
flares, as well as a C2.1 flare, since the last message. The region is
now classified as a beta-gamma region and has a large filament
structure to the north. Further B- and C-level activity possible.
The position of NOAA 11244 on 4-Jul-2011 at 09:00 UT is:
N16W43, ( 620", 223" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low. The B9.5 flare at 00:01 UT today was
produced by a newly emerging region in the northwest quadrant which
has been designated NOAA 11244 and which shall be the new target
region. The region is currently classified as a beta region and is
likely to produce further B-level activity with chance for an isolated
C-class flare if it continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 11244 on 3-Jul-2011 at 10:30 UT is:
N15W29, ( 450", 202" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low. The target region NOAA 11243 remains
quiescent but has developed a pronounced leader spot. Only minor
activity expected at this time.
The position of NOAA 11243 on 2-Jul-2011 at 10:30 UT is:
N17E17, ( -258", 231" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity continues at low levels. NOAA 11243 has produced
several B-class flares over the past 12 hours and shall become the new
target region. The region comprises a pair of sunspots each with
extended magnetic plage. Further B-level activity likely with chance
for an isolated low C-class flare if the region continues to develop.
The position of NOAA 11243 on 1-Jul-2011 at 10:30 UT is:
N16E31, ( -462", 221" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity is extremely quiet, with no flares today. NOAA 11242
did not continue to grow at the rate at which it emerged and as such,
has not evolved significantly in the past 24 hours. However, it will
continue to be todays target with some B class activity possible.
The position of NOAA 11242 on 30-Jun-2011 15:30 UT is:
N17W26 ( 397", 237" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
There were a series of mid-B class flares yesterday that were produced
by NOAA AR 11240, now on the west limb and 11243 - yesterday's target
in the north east quadrant. A new region, AR 11242 has emerged quickly
at disk center. Continued growth at this rate, with the level of
complexity it is already showing would mean high chance of some
C-class or even M-class activity in the coming days.
The position of NOAA 11242 on 29-Jun-2011 15:30 UT is:
N18W12 ( 187", 251" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
There were three B class flares in the past 24 hours with the largest
- a B9 event - coming from NOAA 11236/11239, now behind the limb. The
still unnumbered region on the north-east limb produced a smaller B
class flare and will continue to be todays target. Although it is
difficult to say due to its position, this region shows signs of small
sunspots with some dense field regions, though STEREO B images suggest
it may have entered its decay phase.
The position of the target on 28-Jun-2011 at 16:30 UT is:
N15E69 ( -850", 229" )

Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
Solar activity remains low with two B class flares produced by NOAA
11236 and 11241 in the past 24 hours. With NOAA 11236 having rotated
behind the limb, the target region will switch to the east limb where
an unnumbered region is rotating onto the disk. Though the complexity
of the region is difficult to specify, it is bright in EUV and is
showing large loop structures overlying the region.
The position of the target on 27-June-2011 at 16:00 UT is:
N15E90, ( -900", 200" )
